Let’s get this blog back on the road!
Since the last post we left South Africa and arrived in Australia. We have moved twice – first to a temporary residence and then to our permanent home! We have also furnished the house and waited for the cats to come out of quarantine. Let’s just say it’s been a busy time since the last post.
Well to make way for our new Aussie posts, I am posting the remainder of our South African food posts all in one go! So here goes…
Caroline’s parents came up to Johannesburg and we went to a restaurant called Cappuccinos.
The first photo is of a chicken and ham salad that one of Caroline’s parents had.
The other parent had this salad which consisted of chicken, feta and bacon.
Caroline had this bacon and avocado pizza.
While I had this chicken cordon bleu with a yummy mushroom sauce and fried potato scallops.
Here’s a closer view of the chicken cordon bleu. Mmm…
We finished the meal with a slice of this awesome apple pie.
A little later we went to Pretoria to visit friends and we went to eat at the new Nando’s Peri Deli.
Nando’s have embarked on a plan to take Nando’s chicken a bit upmarket and offer free range chicken burgers with black mushroom, haloumi and rocket.
They’ve also partnered with Vida e Caffe to provide premium coffee.
Mmm. The free range mushroom & haloumi chicken burger! (It’s the chicken that’s free range, not the mushroom) 
And of course, the iconic Nando’s wedges.
One day we had a bacon craving so we fixed that with a bacon roll!
We had some credit left of our travel cards so we took the Gautrain to Sandton and visited Café 41 once more.
This time Caroline had the beef schnitzel, which came with egg (which I was most upset about), a creamy mushroom sauce and potato croquettes.
I had the chicken schnitzel which came with a cheese sauce and potato croquettes.
Café 41 also serves organic coffee. This was Caroline’s cappuccino with foam.
And my cappuccino with cream.
Afterwards we went to Rococo for dessert and had the red velvet cake,
and coconut cake. Both were amazing!
The day before we left South Africa we stayed in a hotel close to the airport. We had a burger there for dinner which was pretty good, but not the best burger I’ve ever had. It came with plenty of chips!
And finally on our flight from Johannesburg to Sydney we had two meals. A dinner that I can’t quite remember what the protein was. I think it was chicken, but I’m not 100% sure. It was served with potato, broccoli, butternut, and was gratinated with cheese and olives. It was also served with a bread roll, crackers and cheese, a salad and a chocolate brownie.
And for breakfast we had fritata with bacon, mushroom and creamed spinach. Also accompanying the main was a fruit salad, snail roll and orange juice and coffee or tea.
So there you have it. All the final meals of our time in South Africa. The next food blog entry will be Sydney food!
